I've been a R.N. for 7-8 year's. Of those 7-8 years I've tried to be pro-active to improve nursing care. I'm only one person--and nursing condition's continue to decline. (though I know a lot of nurses are proactive too)
I speak with administration of my concern's. Switch jobs when I don't feel comfortable with the nursing conditions.
I finally found a local hospital known to have the "best" nursing condition's. And I have to agree it's better then other local hospitals. But since being there in January I've noticed a decline--one unit we're taking care of more patients, I.V. team is gone, sitter's are not allowed, they had 2 secretaries now they are down to one secretary. (ect.)
Nurses are getting burned out--as am I. Honestly I will not stay in nursing if the condition's stay or continue to decline. But I want to continue to fight for patient's rights.
I have always E-mailed people about my concern's--state representative--newspaper's encouraging them to write about nursing conditions--or if a newspaper has written an article I commend them for their support and voice to please continue writing similar articles.
Who else can I voice my concern to? How else can I be more effective in advocating better care for patients? Thanks for your help!!!
